Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 180 – Gays In Toyland

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:25:46 +0000

Yeah it’s not the best title ever, but it does cover some of the topics and I have FF13 to play.

In a world full of hate and anger and turmoil, it is nice to have an island of sanity in a sea of chaos. And we hear it’s a lovely island. We can see it from our boat.

Ashley doesn’t care about games, Mike doesn’t care about car games, Courtney doesn’t care for demo extortion, and Evan doesn’t care about basic hygene. Thank goodness we are on the internet, where no one can here you smell.

Nice talkings about the Well Fed Guide

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:44:40 +0000

Teddy from Hungry In Southwest was nice enough to talk about us on his blog, and had some cool things to say about Well Fed Guide.

These guys put on a brutally honest and an extremely entertaining show…

…give a pretty insightful run-down of their surroundings and the food they serve.

And all we had to do was buy him dinner.

Thanks Teddy for coming on the show, and keep up the good work (and good taste in food netcasts)

The Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 102 – Bread Then Deliciousness Then Bread

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:33:43 +0000

All credit for the title goes to Art Allen, who apparently doesn’t exist on the internet. If anyone has a link they can share, send it our way.

Another guest show this week. Not that someone else is doing the show, or some other show is in it’s place. No, we have a guest on tonight’s show. His name is Teddy Hobbins, and he writes for City Pages as well as his own blog called Hungry In Southwest. Teddy joins Dave and Evan at Cupcake and talks about his love of sandwiches, about which he writes extensively, and how being a “good” Catholic boy is giving him the no-meat shakes.

We also briefly go over The Oscars, which you can talk about here on our forums. Evan also mentions Logorama and The New Tenants, which you should watch.

The Flyover Ska Show Episode 2 – JJ Loy of SkaBlahBlah.com

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:00:33 +0000

This week’s guest hosts the longest running ska radio program in the country and writes a blog with one of the funniest names. Join Courtney as he talks to JJ Loy, host of Ska’s The Limit on 88.1 KDHX in St. Louis, MO and creator of Ska Blah Blah. The guys discuss their tastes in music, how MU330 is like a gateway drug, and what was like to recreate a classic Slackers album with a bunch of live bootlegs.

Ska’s The Limit airs every Saturday night from 7pm-9pm at KDHX.org or you can stream last week’s episode HERE.

This show is brought to you in part by MNSKA.com, Minnesota’s Ska Community. You can contact Courtney at FOSS@fancypantsgangsters.com or follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/mnska. For a track listing of this episode’s songs, be sure to check out the forums.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 179 – The Beasts Of The Fathers

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:09:05 +0000

Alternate title: The Sins Within (but that sounds like a 30 Seconds To Mars album).

Another bizarrely scrambled show, since some of us can’t get which Gabriel Knight game we are talking about. Admittedly Evan didn’t make it easy for anyone, even if they were paying attention. For those of you confused: Gabriel Knight 1 = Tim Curry, Gabriel Knight 2 = Crazy FMV.

Courtney plays some modern games, Ashley tortures her cat, and Mike hates the troops. As always, another exciting episode of Yet Another Gaming Show.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 178 – Mad World

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:53:28 +0000

The title of this show brings to mind not only the underappreciated Wii game and the fact that the video game world seems extra insane this week. It also happens to be tangentially related to the greatest videogame commercial of all time. The title as it pertains to the focus level of the YAGS crew this week is only implied, however.

The Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 101 – Cry Into Your Malbec

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:21:49 +0000

It’s not often the guys go for the wine, normally going for beer or soda. It might be because they are alergic to culture, it’s hard to say. But when presented with a wine list as extensive as that at The First Course, you must slap on a monocle and pretend you are worth something.

Kind of a scattershot show this week. Evan talks about his impending adulthood, Dave takes about things orgasming in his mouth, both of them eat crazy good food, and you are all wondering why Evan is so mean to Dave. Take it from someone who knows: he deserves it.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 177 – F You, Christian Bale

evan@fancypantsgangsters.com (The Fancy Pants Gangsters) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:41:34 +0000

It’s funny how quickly Terminator: Salvation turned Christian Bale’s profile from “That hot guy from Newsies” to “That angry ranting guy from the internet”. All it took was facilitating the demise of the one of the best sci-fi franchises of all time. Granted that was also McG’s fault. Personally I don’t trust anyone who is can’t afford a whole name.

Giant killer robots, altered beasts, grevious bodily harm, zombie cricket, and Danzig. I don’t think I need to need to say much more about this week’s Yet Another Gaming Show. Oh, and Sushi Cat.
